It's quite simple. You don't want a kid, then shut your legs. Then there are plenty of other things that lower the odds greatly and you can even get them for free. You have full control, but there are reactions to your choices.
People making grownup choices have to face grownup results/consequences. If you don't want or can't raise a kid, there are plenty of free options but people don't even want to do that.

I wouldn't say shutting your legs is the first thing to do. The ego and the superego decide that they want babies, but the id is what goes about making them. And this is not just idle speculation on my part. Studies repeatedly show that abstinence only education actually results in more sexual activity, and with less precautions. What I am in favor of is birth control. Anything that keeps the egg and sperm from coming together. Let people have their fun, but teach them what's available to manage fun times. Obamacare is a flawed program on many levels, but the best thing it did, was reduce the number of abortions, by giving more girls of all income levels access to birth control.

Are you willing to adopt any of the unwanted children that will be put into foster care if Roe vs. Wade is overturned? There will be a ton of them. We'll see a spike in child murder, child abuse, crime (as some of the kids growing up in foster care will feel unwanted and have no role models to teach them right from wrong.) Then you have to factor in the added cost of all these new people and the strain it will have on the already overcrowded foster care system. Taxpayers are gonna have to build new group homes to house these children, because there is already not enough foster families to take in the kids that there is now. There will also be more children born with handicaps and birth defects and that will put a bigger strain on the healthcare system, so prepare for your premiums and co-pay to go up. It's so hypocritical of people to just want something gone without coming up with solutions to the dire ramifications that action will create. It's not murder. They aren't a person yet.

This whole idea of "someone else must pay for it" is childish. Over half the black pregnancies in the city of NY end in abortion. Highest taxes, biggest welfare net, worst results. Abortion isn't about wealth or poverty. Its about nihilism.

Interesting that you cannot force people to be responsible for their own actions but you force other people to pay for others irresponsible actions.

I would gladly give Dems free birth control and morning after pills, if they would give up abortion after 4 weeks with the exception to save the life of the mother.

I don't see it as a deal. Both things reduce abortion. Birth control, and a stricter ban. One or the other or both are all good choices. It's like if the boss offers you a steak dinner, and you're saying "sure, but you have to throw in a lobster too or no deal."

Agreed. That's extremely unrealistic. I could see after the first trimester, but 4 weeks is ridiculous.

I just love how a bunch of men are arguing about this. /sarcasm
The government should never be involved in this decision. I don't support abortion except in some circumstances, but the government has no business forcing women to give birth to children they don't want. Period. If you've never given up a baby for adoption you have no idea- NO IDEA- what you're talking about when you say, "Oh, they can just put it up for adoption." BS. It's not that simple, especially for babies that aren't white. And for you judgemental pricks; not every woman gets pregnant by consensual sex, BC is not 100% effective, and tell me the last time you lived a perfect life without mistakes. So shut up. You are the reason women needed RBG on the SC in the first place. I may not have agreed with her politics but she made sure women had a choice in a time we were still considered second class citizens. This is all I'm saying on the subject so don't expect an argument.

That’s such a silly argument. Why am I responsible for directly caring for other people that choose not to care for the people they just birthed? That entire argument requires that, if you don’t want something to happen (pick anything), then you have to be responsible for everything that happens. All those things you say will rise is based on conjecture. You don’t know that. If it’s OK to kill them before they’re born, why stop afterward? We could eliminate a lot of hungry kids if we compassionately euthanized all these poor children. I understand that you don’t believe them to be human yet, but the justification you gave is outside of that. You cited abuses, crimes, and suffering as justifiable reasons, and If those are good reasons to eliminate life then it shouldn’t matter when it’s eliminated.

Bottom line with this supreme court justice show down is that who ever wins will set the rules and if that happens, things are about to change. Nobody is respecting history and previouly respected on norms. It's all about power now for sure. Dems will retaliate when and if they get the senate and then eventually Republicans will fire back. The extremes win and the moderates suffer
